Description

auGEN X bridges the creative musical world of artists with the exacting scientific world of audio engineers. What started as a precision audio test utility has grown into a fun experimental sound design instrument. On one end use auGEN X to help set up, test, calibrate, and optimize your audio system. On the other use it to create a wide variety of interesting sounds.

auGEN X has a full-featured audio oscillator, a high quality noise generator, and an impulse generator. The simple yet powerful user interface is designed for fast, precise, intuitive control over your signals. auGEN X works both as a Stand-Alone App and as an AUv3 Audio Unit Extension responding to MIDI In and BPM Sync from Hosts.

I started making this app because as an audio electronics engineer I could not find a single audio generator that does everything that I require AND is an AUv3 Audio Unit. auGEN X has expanded into a musical tool for exploring and learning sound design. Our goal is for auGEN X to be an Essential in your audio toolbox. We hope you enjoy it and we’re excited to hear the cool things that you do with auGEN X!

"I really see this app becoming a standard and a must have component in one's iOS audio app arsenal."- Paul Henry, Paul Henry Pro Audio

- AUv3 Audio Unit Extension or Stand-Alone App - Verified to work great in AUv3 Hosts such as GarageBand, Cubasis, AUM, apeMatrix, BeatMaker 3, & Auria Pro - As a Stand-Alone App audio is sent to iPad's built-in speakers, Headphone/Line Out, or to any iOS-compatible USB audio interface connected to the Lightning jack

- Compatible with iOS 9.0 & up (iPad 2, iPad mini (1st Generation), & up) - Support way back to iOS 9 means auGEN X works on every iPad model (except the very first iPad). Breathe new life into your old iPad by using auGEN X to make it a dedicated, precision audio source.- AUv3 Audio Unit Extensions require iPad 4, iPad mini 2, and up- 88.2 & 96 kHz sample rate require iOS-compatible USB audio interface connected to the Lightning jack

What’s New

Version History

1.0.2

Dec 17, 2018

auGEN X just keeps getting better! Version 1.0.2 is a maintenance update to polish things up for our big launch.

- Now the Impulse also responds to MIDI Note-On/Off. This is great for adding a thump to your attacks. We nearly doubled the maximum Impulse width to 63 samples for even more thump. - Fixed an issue where the controls would sometimes disappear when closing and re-opening the window in AUv3 Hosts such as AUM and apeMatrix. - Eliminated clicks when starting and stopping the Oscillator. - Fixed a minor range limit issue when using the number keypad to enter sweep rates. - Improved the colors on the e-mail form.

1.0.1

Dec 13, 2018

auGEN X just got more musical! Version 1.0.1 adds MIDI In and BPM Sync from AUv3 Audio Units Host Apps. Use MIDI Note-On/Off messages to play auGEN X's Oscillator and Noise Generator like a synthesizer. Synchronize Frequency and Level Sweeps to the Host's tempo at 1x/2x/3x/4x speed for cool rhythmic effects.

So I’m buying it! Amazing app. Please make it 8 voice poly with detuning! As an AU I’d say one instance for each timbre, and then 1..n voices per instance. I like the way Volt Synth lets you adjust the polyphony.

Amazing first app! Go go go!

Also, is it MMXVIII already? How time flies.

Oh, and an oscilloscope would be killer. I can hook it up the the tek but then I’d have to get off the couch.

auGEN X started life as an audio test tool, but the community is pulling me to make it a synth — so it looks like that’s where I’m heading! Now, you’ve got me thinking about polyphony... and an oscilloscope. Remember, apeMatrix has a sweet ‘scope. And yes, Volt rocks!

Before we know it, it will be MMXIX. Where does the time go?

Waveform Precision Toolkit

This is a great app for sound design. You can exercise precise control over the waveforms it generates and use them as fodder for your modular synthesis explorations. Combine this app with FAC Envolver to generate useful evolving MIDI sequences to trigger and control other apps. Great for use in apeMatrix where you can modulate the parameters which opens up all sorts of possibilities.

The pan, volume, sweep, and impulse controls plus being able to choose different waveforms along with their frequency range and sweep characteristics are very useful.
